How to conduct a formative assessment while reading a story?

You could set specific goals before you start reading, like understanding the main plot or character development. Then, after you finish a section, see if you've met those goals. Also, try to relate the story to your own experiences to deepen your understanding and that can be a form of assessment too.

First, understand the elements of a story like characters, plot, and setting. Then, analyze how these elements interact and build a coherent structure. Pay attention to the beginning, middle, and end for a smooth flow.

One way is to start with comprehension questions. For example, ask about the main characters, the plot's key events, and the story's setting. This helps gauge if the reader understood the basic elements of the fiction.

One way is through written responses. Have students write a short summary of the novel, highlighting the main plot points, characters, and themes. This shows their basic understanding. Another method could be group discussions. Divide students into groups and let them talk about their favorite parts, least favorite parts, and what they learned from the story. It promotes critical thinking and communication skills.

You can start by creating a spooky atmosphere. Dim the lights, maybe play some creepy background music. Then, read the story slowly and pause at key moments to ask questions or discuss.

First, identify the main characters' unconscious desires. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth's initial prejudice against Darcy might hide her unconscious fear of getting hurt in love. Then, look at the symbols in the novel. The grand houses could symbolize social status and the characters' insecurities related to it. Also, analyze the dreams or fantasies of the characters if there are any.

Reading speed while reading stories can also be an indicator. A faster reading speed with good comprehension usually suggests a higher reading level. However, it's not just about speed. If someone rushes through a story but misses key details, it doesn't necessarily mean a high reading level. For example, when reading a short story, a proficient reader might read it quickly and be able to summarize accurately, while a less proficient one may read slowly and still have trouble understanding the main idea.

It helps teachers know if students are actually understanding the novel. For example, if most students struggle with a particular question about the plot, the teacher can go back and re - teach that part. It also encourages students to engage more deeply with the text. When they know there will be an assessment, they are more likely to pay attention while reading.
